Take the for example the liberal hollywood types that run their mouth constantly. Why don't they voluntarily pay more taxes. You think taxes should go up, why not just send a bigger check to the government.

But no, all you see on TMZ each week is a new liberal hollywood elite getting busted for tax evasion.

if your honest, you make too much $$ for programs. ill bet you.. if you lie, you'll of course be eligible for many many programs. I tested this with my wifes income, if i wasnt in the picture. at $11./hr and 1 child, she gets $16/month in benefits..

My wife and I were $#@!ed well before this having no debt, mortgage payment or kids and we'll be in the dame situation afterwards albiet paying more money. It pisses me off that we get punished for being fiscally responsible between ourselves. That's why I plan on moving to the Caribbean!

+1... Military pay went up 1.7% for the new year, but SS taxes went up 2%. So I actually lost money with my pay raise... woohoo...
My old Base Pay: $3496.20 x 4.2% = $147 in SS taxes
My new Base Pay: $3555.20 x 6.2% = $220 in SS taxes...

Cost of living always increases & it's VERY rare that a pay increase (in both the public & private sectors) keeps up with that increase. The problem is that the Obama Administration has decided in a weak economy (US Dollar has very low purchase value) that we need to add taxes - Whether it's the "Affordable" Health Care Act, cover the out of control Fed Govt. spending (and refusing to trim the excess), or the proposed 2013 Income Tax Increase
